Health Care in America

Looks like they've got a resolution with the bill in the House. Survey/prediction time:

1. How long before Obama signs bill?
2. There is supposed to be a large number of amendments that will be sent separately. My guess is that the content of this bill was part of the negotiations with some of the Democrats on the fence (not the Stupak executive order). Will these items get passed?
3. Will this impact the November election?

I'm going with tomorrow for the bill, no on the amendments passing, and the Republicans regain control of the House.

I agree on the first two points. As for #3 I'm not sure it'll affect the Nov. 2010 elections one way or the other. I'm not a fan of the bill, but it'll probably jazz up an until-now moribund base. And there are provisions in the bill that are highly popular - even if its entirety isn't - that will be easy to promote.

Death panels to begin in six to eight weeks.

Nah, death panels need to be eased in. They're at least a year out.
